ra da

Thân thiện

Vết thương trên tay đã ra da và không còn đau nữa.

Definition

1. Verb (intransitive):
   • To form a scab, to begin to heal (of a wound): The primary meaning describes the process where a wound starts to close and a protective layer of dried blood and serum (a scab) forms on its surface, indicating the initial stage of healing.
   • To scar over: Refers to the same healing process, emphasizing the development of new skin tissue beneath the scab.

Usage Examples

• Verb:
  • Vết thương đã bắt đầu ra da. (The wound has begun to form a scab.)
  • Cứ để yên, vài hôm nữa nó sẽ ra da thôi. (Just leave it alone; in a few days it will start to heal over.)

Advanced Usage

• This term is often used in a reassuring context, indicating that a problematic situation (like a wound or, metaphorically, a difficulty) is starting to improve or resolve.
  • Mọi chuyện rồi cũng sẽ ra da thôi, đừng lo lắng quá. (Everything will eventually sort itself out; don't worry too much.)

Variants and Related Words

• Lên da non (v): To form new skin. This phrase describes the next stage after "ra da," when fresh, pink skin grows under the scab.
  • Sau khi ra da, vết thương bắt đầu lên da non. (After scabbing over, the wound began to form new skin.)

Synonyms

• To scab over: To form a hard covering of dried blood.
• To begin to heal: To start the recovery process.
• To cicatrize (medical term): To form a scar or cicatrix.

Notes on Usage

• "Ra da" is considered a colloquial and regional term, commonly used in everyday spoken Vietnamese rather than in formal medical contexts.
• It specifically describes the very first visible sign of healing. A wound that has fully healed with a permanent scar would not typically be described with this phrase.
